Hi,
I've just read an announcement about a new version of the vma merging patch.
So my question is : do you plan to include it in the kernel ?
Does it need further tests ?
A mozilla speed improvement is something very interesting. And I think that
others apps are concerned.

I do apologise, but I have an other question :
I notice that RH provide several kernel version optimise for i386, i486,
i586, i686, athlon, etc ...
So my question is : do you think that it may be easily implement by the
Mandrake team ?
and last but not least, do you think it may de useful/interesting ?
To much work after to debug the kernel ? (pb that appear only for a precise
optimisation of the kernel )
and really the last one, if it's done, do you think it is possible to
automaticaly install the right kernel version during the install (athlon for
athlon, 686 por PIII/PIV, etc ...) ? ( maybe Pixel will have to modify DrakX
? if there's an easy way to detect it)
Finaly I send a CC to cooker as I think that people may be interested
concerning this.
